James begins teaching us how to control our anger. Pastor Mark tells us that we control our anger when we root ourselves in the Word of God. When we align ourselves with the Word, we allow it to shape us and then we fall in submission to the Word of God and we line up with the character of God. When we have a strong belief that God is in control, we know that nothing happens to us without His permission. Even when our desires are blocked, we know God are not. We can hold our peace because God’s purposes are bigger than our inconveniences.
